It was already night time in this world....
"Zzzzz"
In front of me, I watched Diana slept peacefully on the bed.
.....
Two days had already passed since the time when I talked with her at the garden. Those two days were like hell. There are so many bad things that had already happened to her.
Well also....
At the moment, I am now able to somehow my eyes around, allowing me to see more of my surrounding. And for the body on the other hand, I can only use my neck turn my head but for the parts like the arms and legs, I can only able to move one if I focus all my mana into that place.
I still have to wait for the rest of the mana to arrive after all.
For the mana part, I just kind of felt like it was one with me which was kind of difficult to describe. It's like something I can circulate through out my body even though this is my first time using mana.
Its weird but nevermind that. Since I'm able to turn my head,I now have a better view of the room that I'm in at...
It really is a small room with only a few amount of furnitures for the girl. There was also a small window on the upper part of the wall near the ceiling. I guess it's put that high up to avoid being climbed on from the inside. Well even if we do climbed up to it, there are 3 bars on it which prevents people from escaping. So in any case, just climbing there won't help us escape.
Back to the topic with my head. I can only turn my head 180 degrees. I also wanted to try doing a 360 out of curiosity but something is telling me not to try it for now.
But even with all of that....I'm still not interacting with Diana during the past two days. I still didn't talked to her nor let her know that I can finally use my body for a bit.
I need more mana....Which is why I'm trying to conserve them as early as possible.
Also regarding about the skill that Aria-sama told me about. The damage transfer seems to work just fine.
Although..... even though it works, seeing Diana get repeatedly hit for most of time made me enraged.
The desire to fight back, protect and avenge Diana from those who hurted her started to grow on me quickly.
Well with the skill, I'm pretty sure she won't feel the pain anymore since I transferred the inflicted damage to me when she receives it. But, as I look at Diana's skin. Even though it's kind of dim inside the room, I could still see the bruises and Injuries that Diana have on her skin.
They didn't hold back hurting her, they kicked her, hit her with whip, slapped her while also hurling abusive words. And all of that in front of me.
There is also the food in which you can easily tell was bad as the appearance says it all just by looking at it.
And let's not talk about proper hygiene which is definitely out of the question already.
I sighed and continued staring at the Diana's bruises on her skin.
...
I'm very sorry.....
I'm so sorry that I'm still making them hurt you...I know you want to escape already but you are still in this place waiting for me....
Diana is really doing her best clinging to her life... I'm very surprised that she manage to survive this far while enduring those worse treatment to her.
If I were in her situation....I wonder how will I react to my abuser?
Will I fight back or will I receive the pain without resisting.
I sighed again and wanted to atleast touch her face but I decided not to do it at the moment.
She is sleeping from exhaustion...I don't want to wake her up right now.
*Sigh*
I recalled the face of the people who came her and abused her.
They really are horrible people.....
Right now...I don't think that I may have any more forgiveness left in myself for them.
It's not just the master of this house who is horrible, the servants who were also working inside this place treated her like trash....
*Sigh*
They are all the same...They are the worse.....They are worst than insects.
Thats why.....
They don't deserve to live....I want to..... kill them....
Eeh!??
What did I just?
How did I arrive on the thought of killing?
I'm started thinking that killing is the best option.
And what's more weird is that I don't feel anything trying to stop me on doing that
Killing them when I have the chance would be a best action to take. Why? It's because I don't want to see them again and that also goes with Diana.
If I don't dispose them now then that will only result to some obstacle when it comes to our future if they decided to chase after us...
It should save us time and we can erase future problems with them.
No wait.... Should I kill them?
Would Diana like that?... Escaping is her main wish and that doesn't concern killing them.
What right should I have to be the one killing them?
If anything the one who should be deciding if they should be killed is Diana not me, I mean she is the one who was enduring this treatment for as long as she lived right?
No..... I think I should do it....
Even If I will be the one who will need to get my hands dirty... Just for Diana..... I would.
No....
Just what is happening to me? What should I do?
[Fufufu, you are thinking too much again~]
Hmmmm!?, startled by a voice inside my head, I stopped thinking and started shifting my focus to the familiar voice that talked to me.
Aria-sama..... were you listening to me the whole time?
[Well. that I did~]
Aren't you busy doing your work above? I mean you should be right?.
[I decided to take a break for a moment you see~ and with that said, I thought about checking up on you to see what you are up to fufufu~ And when I did that well, I heard your thoughts fufufu]
Checking up on me huh..... Well enough of that for now. I want to ask Aria-sama something now that she is here.
Uhmmm,you knew what I was thinking about a while right?
[yep~]
Then what should I do?
I'm really lost here..... But there is one thing for sure....
I want to atleast avenge Diana. For all the things that they have done to her... I don't want them to live their happy lives after we escape....
[Hmmmu~ even if you talk with Diana about that, I'm pretty sure she will not be able to answer that.....]
I think so too.... Talking with Diana about this is not going to work. I mean, did she even had the thought of killing someone?
[Fufufu~ If anything else I just recommend you to focus on Diana and your escape.]
Ehhh.... Then what about this horrible house.... I don't feel satisfied just by leaving here without doing anything to them.
[Don't worry about it~]
But I really....
[They already have their fate sealed you see.....]
Aria-sama's suddenly interrupted me with a tone of voice that became low and serious. I felt a light shiver just by hearing her just now.
[Just do whatever you want you can kill them if you want.....]
Aria-sama?
The mood became so serious that I'm getting to feel kind of scared and terrified.
[Whatever you do, nothing will change their fate. Their fate is something that was already set in stone for them anyways.... ]
Scary..... Thats one word that I can think about at the moment.
Wait....
What is their fate to begin with? Hearing it just makes me more curious.
[It's already obvious you know....]
Obvious??
Wait let me rundown all the thing's that Aria-sama said.
Ohhh its that....
Their death Huh....if that's the case then I don't have anything more to say about it.
Hmmm....
Also.... Did they perhaps angered Aria-sama for her to be like this. This is also the first time for me seeing this new scary side of her.
[Anyways don't think much about it anymore okay~]
Aria-sama usual cherry voice returned as if the seriousness from earlier was nothing.
[If you want to kill them then feel free to do so, If you don't want to or you don't know then just leave them be in here~]
So it's either making my hands dirty or just leave them be since they will just die anyway.
But I think I will still need to decide on this, I still have a week to go before that so I guess I will need to calm myself down first.
[Fufufu good girl~]
Yeah yeah.... By the way..... How long are you going to stay here Aria-sama?
[A bit more longer, I am kind of bored to go back to work at the moment...]
ahhhh.....being lazy?
[Fufufu.... I guess you could say that....]
Anyway I'm a bit glad that I could talk with Aria-sama again, she is kind of my talking partner when I'm bored of staying still.
[Ohhh by the way~ there is a skill called telepathy which you had already used before...]
Telepathy? Used before
[Ara? Didn't you know?]
Know what?
[You used it when you applied the damage transfer skill to Diana. You used your mana and you also managed to say a word to her]
Ehhh!!!?
A word?
What did I say to her?
I don't my words back then, There were so many things that are happening which made me forget about my thoughts.
[Fufufu I also wonder, well moving on, you also have another skill that you can use. It's called playdead]
Play dead?
I know telepathy because I already have a vague idea about how it works. But what about play dead?
[It's a skill that you can use to make you look and act more like a doll~ you will not move and behave like a true doll in short.~]
Ohhh that's very useful. That can help me avoid any unnecessary movement when I'm in a situation where I will need to stay still to avoid being suspected as a living doll.
[Fufufu thought so ~ how's your body by the way?]
This question is what she always ask me at the end of the day. I don't know why she asks me that but I'm pretty sure that I'm fine.
I'm all good.....
[I see. Well that's all that I want to tell you for today. Now then, do you have something that you want to ask?]
A question??
Hmmm let's see... Ohhh now that I thought about it, I forgot that I still didn't have any plans about what to do when me and Diana escape this place.
We can't just go out there without any plans after all, so with that being said, what about finding a job about where I can earn money for our living expenses.
[A job? ~ Hmmm joining the adventures guild will seem to be a good start~.]
Adventurers guild huh..... Hmmm that's a bit too cliche in a fantasy world. The main characters in most of the isekai stories used the adventurers guild plotline. It's the most commonly used trope for making money when it comes to those stories.
But still if that's the only place where I could easily earn money then I should go and join them.
!!!? Wait I got a funny idea!
Can I just be a bandit instead?? isn't it easy to earn money that way?
[Silly girl, I don't recommend it~]
I was just joking... Hmmm or maybe not..... Anyways, I should pick something normal.
A musician?... But I don't have any instrument and I don't even know if they have instrument similar to ours in this world.
A soldier? A spy? Those seems cool, but also dangerous, well being a adventurer and a bandit is already danger in it's own kind.
A cook or baker? Hmmm.... I think I just want to them for personal reasons not for a Job...
A merchant? No I don't have anything to sell though... but I can try it in the near future.
Adventurer..... Its a bit cliche but it does works.... I'm also sure that being one comes with a good amount of benefits.
But maybe.... before I pick which job to use, I should go check up the situation outside of this place first.... I think it will help me pick a job more better
[The situation hmmm~, I already said about how chaotic this world right?]
I already did....its a very messy and dangerous place... But I want to see more of the world you know.
[I do understand that but that's after you finally get a hold of how to use your body~]
Yes.... But that won't be long until then..
[yes~]
And like this the two of us chatted until Aria-sama breaktime is finished.
----------------------------------------------
Time passed again and the morning finally arrived, and Diana who was sleeping on her bed started to groan and wake up from her sleep.
"It's morning?"
She said in a sleepy and childish voice.
She then gently grab me and raised her hand and maybe stroked my hair as it was moving repeatedly from my point of view.
Hmmm.... Remembering one of my conversation with Aria-sama. I remember her telling me about being to use telepathy.
Maybe I should try using it now...
I focused my mana and tried to take it all to my head.
[Goodmorning... can you hear me??....]
"A voice?"
The girl was still nodding off but she then stopped moving and slowly widened her eyes.
"Eep!!?"
She suddenly moved or maybe jump. I guess this her answer of her being able to hear me.
"A voice!? Where!? wait Is it from? the doll!?"
I can't see her face from this angle since her arm is blocking my view. But I think she will have a surprise look on her face if I do see it.
[So I guess I will take that as a yes right?]
"Yes!!"
Looks like I startled her a bit too much, I would be surprised too if a doll that I always kept by my side suddenly talk after all.
[Relax, we already talked with each other right?]
I said that trying to calm her down, and Diana did follow and took a breath in and calmed herself down.
She removed her hand from my head and just kept holding me on top of her lap.
[....]
"Uhmmm?..."
The two of us stared at each other for a short moment.
[So what are you going to today?...]
"Eeh?"
I don't have any topics on my mind at the moment so I just went with this one.
"I don't know....."
To be honest I think I just asked an dumb question... Its not like she have many things to do inside this place..... She is a locked up person and her movements here in this room is very limited..... So it could only be either reading, sleeping, dozing off, or maybe since I'm finally able to talk to her, just talking around with me can be added to the option.
"..."
The girl just silently looked straight to my face. She didn't say anything making me curious on what she is thinking right now.
After a short moment, her eyebrows raised up and she has the look that she have something to say.
"Right now....I think what I want to do the most is....."
[Is??]
"Is to talk with Doll-San hehehe"
Ohh... she really did picked that option huh, well I already kind of expected it.
Hmmm... well we had our conversation cut off from before right?, I guess this can be the continuation for that dropped conversation.
[Okay then..... What do you want to talk about first?...]
With that said, I now decided that I will spend most of my time today talking with Diana.
